Hello all, I have a dilemma relate to the billing of MRI from the facility related to 61793- Stereotactic radiosurgery PFX Gamma Knife
Examination performed: MR stereo with contrast
Technique: Axial 3-D spoiled gradient post contrast images obtained through the brain with patient in the stereotactic head frame. Exam was performed following the intravenous administration of 17cc of MultiHance without reported adverse reaction in radiology assessment.
What CPT code(s) should be used for the MRI usage from the facility?
What code is used for the contrast?
Does the facility get to bill for placement of the headframe each time?
Does the faility also bill for the sterotactic service, if yes what code?
Is there different code for which of MRI/CT these the facility uses, particle beam, gamma knife OR PFX gamma knife or linear accelerator?
Seperate of course from the usual REV code supplies...what are all the codes the facility should bill?
THANK YOU TO THE EXPERTS! Jackie Mehalich
